Pluggers by Rick McKee for November 30, 2020

Yes, we do.

Here comes all the Christmas comics. I’m not in the mood this year, unfortunately!

Twist ties, kind of like duct tape. The handyman’s secret weapon.

AMEN

Well, what’d ya know. I indeed save twist ties!

Ah yes the twist tie ! The thing that holds hand rolled newspaper logs together ! ;-)

Twist ties have become wimpy. Twist 2 of them together, NOW you have a twisty worth saving! Sign of a true Plugger..

I save those flat rectangular plastic clips from the bread bags. They’re great for scraping burned gunk out of pans.

Brings back memories ! ! ! !

We have a drawer with a bunch of twist ties in it. They are very handy for a lot of things, just like duct tape. I twist several together to get the length I need.

Catchy hook!

And a slew of plastic bags, jars and a collection of lids.

My hubby had cancer perforate his bowel days before Thanksgiving. He lay in the hospital for 8 days before they were willing to risk operating because of other problems. Yesterday they were able to remove the respirator from his throat. Thanksgiving dinner was by remote with my family. Yes, I am very thankful for all of it. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” I refuse to give into depression or a “bah humbug” attitude. Zec 4:10 “For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice,…”

I use paper clips!

Very cute, but not me-they are just troublesome in a junk drawer.

I particularly like the longer plastic ones that come bound around items with large electric cords and such. Very handy!

(Both hands raised! Same for my daughter!) Yep, Yep, Yep!!!!

isn’t there a law against throwing away twist ties…?

twist ties are as handy as duct tape.

I’ve become a twist tie snob. I only save the ones coated in the black or white plastic. None of those cheap paper coated ones for me.
